I try to post articles here that I find interesting and worth discussing. If you would prefer to have more articles about native Linux games, please post them.
My wife actually loves playing KPatience! I’ve tried to get her on to slightly more meaty games but sometimes it’s the simple ones that win people over :-)
My GF is addicted to some mobile crossword puzzle game, and Wordle, but tells me video games are lame and thinks I waste my time with TESO and Fallout.
If this community was only about games made specifically for Linux it would be dead. This community is simply about gaming on Linux, whether that be natively or through wine. Maybe a native linux gaming community could be made.
You're not even asking for native Linux games, but Linux exclusive games. Which, I'm sorry, is stupid. I also think this really is a slap in the face for all the people that work on Proton, Wine and all the drivers and libraries to make all of this possible.
Anyone tested this with envycontrol? An Nvidia drivder update in march broke it for me (couldn’t disable dedicated GPU) so had to revert to 525. Would love to update if someone can confirm there are no issues. Am on Fedora + Wayland
What? If I'm playing a game developed for windows, on linux, via proton, is that not me playing a game using linux? If you want to post about a native linux game, nobody will stop you, go for it, but don't try to exclude other people's gaming experiences just because the game isn't native.
Hopefully it will be properly fixed, but Intel are still a fair bit behind AMD in their Vulkan driver support (OGL is pretty complete from what I recall) so these hacks are welcome until then.
the issue is that its a workaround for lacking features on Intel, I915 lacks VM_BIND, while the XE kernel will support sparse stuff, it wont support HUC DG2 and down, which is needed for useful video encode/decode
For the majority of gamers on Linux this makes absolutely no difference.
In fact running a Windows game through Proton is not far from a native Linux port. All that Proton does is provide an API similar to Windows. And then the game is just executed in this context. The game binary is still x86_64 code which then runs “natively” on the CPU.
